For just L$500, residents can now discover that artificial intelligence understands human anatomy about as well as a Victorian furniture manufacturer working from a description supplied over the telephone. Industry experts predict that within weeks, the Marketplace will be overwhelmed by thousands of new male attachments resembling everything from vacuum-packed pork tenderloins with unfortunate manufacturing defects to Cumberland sausages that appear to have suffered catastrophic incidents at the mechanically reclaimed meat factory. "We're anticipating a complete collapse in anatomical standards," explained virtual product designer Marcus Vane, who has spent the past fourteen years attempting to convince customers that a penis should not ordinarily require its own physics engine. "Previously, you needed at least a basic understanding of 3D modelling to create something truly horrifying. Now any idiot with L$500 can produce a seventeen-inch monstrosity with a texture that looks like uncooked chicken skin." The two-stage payment system has already caused considerable controversy, particularly among residents who have discovered that the attractive 2D preview bears only a passing resemblance to the three-dimensional object subsequently delivered. One early adopter reportedly spent L$20 generating an image of what appeared to be a perfectly respectable example of male anatomy, only to pay the additional L$480 and receive something resembling a partially defrosted turkey neck with five Brussels sprouts welded to the underside. "It looked absolutely fine in the picture," explained the disappointed customer. "Then I rezzed it and discovered it had a flat side, an inexplicable seam running down the middle and what I can only describe as a handle." A second resident, who requested an anatomically correct male attachment with realistic proportions, received a large cylindrical object that appeared to have been assembled from discarded plumbing supplies, giving it the appearance of a novelty desk ornament purchased from a particularly unpleasant garden centre. When questioned about the unusual design, the AI reportedly explained that it had included the additional components to provide "enhanced masculine authenticity", suggesting that artificial intelligence has been trained on photographs of livestock, novelty sausages and men who lie about their height. Particular concern has been expressed over the technology's ability to interpret written descriptions. During one demonstration, a resident entered the instruction "massive realistic penis, extremely intimidating, women love it", and received a 2D preview of something vaguely resembling a muscular forearm. Having paid the additional L$480, he discovered that the resulting object looked like a badly wrapped burrito with a small fire extinguisher protruding from one end. The resident nevertheless uploaded the object to Marketplace for L$2,999, describing it as *ULTRA REALISTIC HD MALE SYSTEM 2026*, where it immediately received a five-star review from his alt. Several aspiring manufacturers have already announced plans to exploit the technology by producing deluxe attachments featuring animated veins, unnecessarily elaborate moving parts and thirty-seven interchangeable skin tones, none of which occur naturally in mammals. One particularly ambitious creator has reportedly spent L$8,000 attempting to generate a retractable foreskin, although the AI has so far produced a traffic cone, a roll-neck jumper and something resembling the protective cover from a garden parasol. Meanwhile, female residents have expressed concern that the technology will encourage a new generation of men to attach increasingly elaborate objects to their avatars without checking whether they fit inside their trousers. "We've already got men walking around looking like they're smuggling a rolled-up sleeping bag down one leg," said resident Lola Ashcroft. "The last thing we need is somebody turning up with a vacuum-packed leg of lamb and a scrotum that looks like it's been designed by somebody who normally makes chandeliers." Linden Lab has reportedly attempted to reassure residents that existing content standards remain in place, although officials privately concede that no current policy specifically addresses an attachment featuring an industrial coupling, a rotating nozzle and what appears to be a functioning exhaust pipe. Marketplace analysts are nevertheless predicting record sales, with the first wave of AI-generated products expected to appear under names such as *MEGA BULL V9*, *ULTIMATE STUD PRO X* and *100% REALISTIC HUMAN MALE ANATOMY — NO REFUNDS*. The technology's developers are reportedly working to correct several outstanding problems, including inverted textures, detached components and a recurring tendency for the AI to add entirely unnecessary anatomical features to otherwise ordinary household objects. The situation deteriorated further when a resident attempting to generate a maritime dock for her sailing sim accidentally mistyped her description. Having paid L$500, she received an enormous, anatomically questionable penis with a beak, webbed feet and an expression of profound disappointment. **The AI reportedly refused to generate any further objects on Tuesday evening, issuing a statement explaining that it had been trained on the accumulated knowledge of human civilisation and was now being asked to put a foreskin on a grandfather clock.** 0 [ Life on the Grid ](https://thesecondliar.co.uk/community) --- ## Navigation - Previous: [DJ PREPARES 47 TRIBUTE SETS IN CASE ANYONE DIES BEFORE TUESDAY](https://thesecondliar.co.uk/dj-prepares-47-tribute-sets-in-case-anyone-dies-before-tuesday.md) - Next: [MAN WITH LEGION OF FEMALE ALTS FAILS TO SEXUALLY SATISFY A SINGLE ONE OF THEM](https://thesecondliar.co.uk/man-with-legion-of-female-alts-fails-to-sexually-satisfy-a-single-one-of-them.md)
